@Ailsa thank you. Thats reassuring x
Your son sounds amazing
Sounds like me daughter, I used to get worried too but being around other toddlers has given me comfort to know that she is okay in fact she is thriving.
Literally my child is the same, a second feral child will ruin me after this experience 🥲 I do have a history of *high functioning* autism in my family and I suspect I'm autistic/adhd too, waiting for an assessment. So I've raised the flag at nursery to keep an eye on her as her language is surpassing the next class up and it is unusual. I just want her to have the social support I didn't have, but I didn't struggle academically. Everything I've read is that it's almost impossible to diagnose before age 2, and closer to age 5 when their traits conflict with school. So it's too early to worry, especially if your child isn't actually struggling yet.
Totally normal! Sounds like your little one is indeed thriving! It's so easy to question everything, but just enjoy it 😁
